an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby
screenshot it
is a hyphenated version of a real domain always fake
is a bad batch ever grounds for calling something a scam
classic advance fee
coming back to this certificate looks recycled from another lot, second opinion
we do not name private individuals in this channel. that is why some lines here are redacted
while im here how do you check a domain is the real one without clicking it
a chromatogram that appears on two different lots is forged. not sloppy, forged, we shall see
[edited]is it worth reporting or does nothing happen
thats a bad batch not fraud
read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works, not advice obviously
relabelling and marking up is retail, not fraud. it is a risk profile question, not a crime
a fake tracking number that resolves on no carrier at all is conclusive. one that resolves and stalls is not
the careful version of this channel is worth ten times the angry version
somebody is using the room name to sell things, who do i tell

i was wrong to call something a scam in 2024 and it was a fill problem. i try to remember that
while im here the room holds no money and runs no escrow. anybody offering to is speaking for themselves
no names please
ok so nobody legitimate contacts you unsolicited offering a discount. report it, do not reply, someone check my working
the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot
report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case
[edited]for the archive update from 14 months ago: the domain from that report is still live and still fake
pressure tactic
fraud means somebody set out to take your money or deceive you about what is in the vial. keep the words separate
Verification log updated: SSA — evidence added, status unchanged.

do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it

no escrow here
report it
a bad batch is not a scam. an underfill is not a scam. slow support is not a scam
a discount that expires in an hour is a pressure tactic and it is the oldest one there is, n of 1 obviously
added to the watchlist
this certificate has the same chromatogram as one from two years ago
do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it
